Badge and gun on the nightstand. Boots on tight. Another call already waiting before he's even out the door. She smiles and plays her part because that's what law enforcement families do — but he sees the hurt behind it every single time. I'd Love to Hold You Now is a high baritone heartbreak love letter from the officer who carries his family with him through every red and blue lit night, every broken up fight, every silent drive home. Built on the classic rockabilly country soul of Conway Twitty's I'd Love to Lay You Down — that same aching warmth, that same quiet sincerity — this one belongs to every law enforcement family who knows exactly what duty costs and loves each other anyway. One day it's a quiet porch swing. Tonight it's the uniform and everything that comes with it. - Original by Saddle Storms.

Lyrics: There's a badge and gun beside me as I pull my boots on tight, Another call's already waitin' to pull me into the night. Drinks are spillin', fists are flyin', it's the same old worn-out show, While my heart's back home with you, darlin', wishin' I didn't have to go. I'd love to hold you now, wipe that worry from your brow, Whisper all the things you mean to me, but time won't allow. Though you smile and play your part, I see the hurt inside your heart, I'd love to hold you now, but duty keeps us worlds apart. The lights are red and blue tonight, paintin' shadows on the walls, Every fight I break apart just builds another wall. You're tucked in with the little ones, keepin' strong while I'm away, But the silence in your eyes, darlin', speaks more than words can say. I'd love to hold you now, wipe that worry from your brow, Whisper all the things you mean to me, but time won't allow. Though you smile and play your part, I see the hurt inside your heart, I'd love to hold you now, but duty keeps us worlds apart. You light the house like a lantern, keepin' our love alive, But I know each lonely night cuts deep like a rusted knife. One day, I'll trade these sirens for a quiet porch swing, But tonight, I wear this uniform and all the weight it brings. I'd love to hold you now, wipe that worry from your brow, Whisper all the things you mean to me, but time won't allow. Though you smile and play your part, I see the hurt inside your heart, I'd love to hold you now, but duty keeps us worlds apart. So I'll kiss you soft and head on out, to face another fight, But I'll carry you with me, darlin', through every single night.
